Side note - are we sure that Tommy Townsend actually has a strong leg?
Like, I read a lot about the new hotness rookie punter and this booming leg he has, but he's had the chance to really uncork a couple and so far he's hit one for 55 that had no loft to it at all and and another one that was, what, 44 with some actual hang?
I was going to expect/ignore a handful of touchbacks more than normal because he's young and placing them isn't easy. But I figured we'd make a little up on the back end w/ a dude that has Jack Fox's leg out there (because Fox, when we had him in camp, was capable of bombing the shit out of them).
For a dude that has a leg that's supposed to be able to flip the field, I haven't seen any real thunder in it at all. A flat 55 yarder or 45 with arc is really damn average.
Hopefully he's just getting his timing down or something because he ain't very good right now.
